This teen-produced interview with Joshua Mosley focuses on the artist’s mixed-media installation, dread (2007), which consists of a short animated film and five bronze sculptures that philosophically explores the human necessity to confront and apprehend nature. Mosley's labor-intensive practice combines computer animation, stop-motion animation, digital sound, sculpture, as well as his own music and dialogue. In the film, an animated photographic forest is the background against which two characters--modeled on French philosophers Jean Jacques Rousseau and Blaise Pascal--hold a conversation on the relationship between God-given natural order, free will, and the human and animal conditions.
